Touch enabling process, haptic accessory, and core haptic engine to enable creation and delivery of tactile-enabled experiences with virtual objects

A touch-enabled platform (TEP) comprising:

• program code running on a cloud-based server and in communication with a database including a haptic object properties (HOPs) library having a haptic object profile for at least one object, wherein the TEP is configured to actuate haptic feedback at a device by performing actions comprising:
• receive data indicating a user is contacting a touch interface on the device;
• analyze the data to determine a characteristic of the contact between the user and the touch interface;
• and
• provide a waveform to actuate vibration at the touch interface based upon the characteristic of the contact and a display characteristic at the touch interface,
• wherein the display characteristic includes a depiction of an object not stored in the HOPs library, and wherein the TEP includes an engine configured to perform the following:
• analyze the object not stored in the HOPs library;
• create a haptic object profile for the object not stored in the HOPs library, the haptic object profile comprising the waveform;
• and
• provide the waveform to actuate the vibration at the touch interface,
• wherein the program code is configured to provide the waveform to an actuator at the device for delivering the haptic content as a dynamic time-varying waveform in response to the user contact with the touch interface at the device,
• wherein the device further comprises a filter for modifying the haptic content based upon a vibrational characteristic of the device,
• wherein the filter is configured to vary the haptic content for distinct types of device based on at least one of a resonance frequency of the device or a strength of an actuator at the device, by:
• decreasing an amplitude of frequencies of the dynamic time-varying waveform that are around the resonance frequency of the device, and
• increasing an amplitude of frequencies of the dynamic time-varying waveform in response to detecting that that the actuator has insufficient strength to render the haptic content.
